Horny toads and other professional heat regulators seek shade. Let the Women's Solimar Shorts by Patagonia provide yours. Made of a tightly woven (30-UPF sun protection) lightweight stretch nylon with a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish, the shorts are cut longer but can be rolled up and secured with button fasteners.

They have two front patch pockets with welted openings and a single thigh mini drop-in pocket. Backside seams and darts provide shaping, and the straight legs have vented hems. Regular rise; inseam (size 8) is 15".

Great on a trip to Belize - fit true to size, comfortable and allowed me to move - almost as if they were not there. They dried quicker than most other I took, without an odor. Went easily from bush to the town looking good.

Got the Patagonia Solimar Shorts a few weeks ago and heavily used it so far. No matter of biking, climbing, hiking or stand up paddling – it's a very comfortable shorts. I love the longer length and that those pockets are not bulky or dominating. Usually I don't like pockets on my pants, but I have to admit these are really practical and perfectly fit my phone. These flattering shorts have some stretch but do not get loose and still look great after a day wearing them. Great Quality Patagonia!
